In this episode of The Sentinel, we share an inspirational story from NCAI’s archives–the Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Mutual Assistance. Created by NCAI leaders in 1947 with the purpose of forging Tribal Nations together in unity and purpose, the Treaty is far from just a stagnant archival document–it carries a message that still resonates with us today.
The looming threat of termination and emerging threats to self-governance in the 1940s form the backdrop of this story. Learn about the Treaty’s journey as it traveled across the country to gather signatures from Tribal leaders. Hear how notable leaders delivered inspirational messages to the audiences as they affixed their signatures to this historic document, pledging to to work with, defend and mutually assist other Tribal Nations.
Although the actual Treaty has yet been located, its spirit is alive and well. It serves to remind us of the purpose of NCAI and guides the organization's work defending sovereignty and self-determination today.
